520    Taiwan's position looks increasingly precarious, and 
       tensions threaten to grow into a major strategic crisis. 
       Chinese President Xi Jinping has made reunification with 
       Taiwan a central pillar of his vision for China, and has 
       ramped up diplomatic and economic pressure on Taiwan. Its 
       inhabitants are increasingly estranged from the mainland, 
       and Tsai Ing-wen's administration refuses to conduct 
       relations with China on Beijing's terms. Taiwan could take
       on renewed strategic significance amid the backdrop of the
       deepening rivalry between China and the United States, and
       find itself at the centre of a Cold War-style superpower 
       confrontation. While Washington's support and military 
       power has historically guaranteed Taiwan's security, this 
       is no longer a certainty. This Adelphi book argues that 
       China's military modernisation has changed the cross-
       strait military balance, and the ability of the US to 
       prevail in a conflict over Taiwan may have evaporated by 
       2030. As China feels increasingly empowered to retake 
       Taiwan, there is significant potential for escalation, 
       particularly given the ambiguity of Beijing's 'red lines' 
       on Taiwan. Neither Beijing, Taipei nor Washington want 
       such a conflict, but each is challenging the uneasy status
       quo. Taylor calls for the introduction of a narrower set 
       of formal crisis-management mechanisms designed to 
       navigate a major Taiwan crisis.
